Abstract:Hazardous material (Hazmat) transportation is an inseparable section of the industry, despite its major financial and health risks. In order to optimize Hazmat transportation, a multi-objective Hazmat routing model with time windows is employed where the risk and distance are minimized. Due to the uncertainty of Hazmat transportation risk, a Z-number fuzzy approach is used to estimate the risk, in which the probability of occurrence and the severity is considered in the context of Z-information. The severity o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
